Betcha all of you thought I had disappeared, huh? Well, now that I have a job that requires 33 hours per week, I don't have as much time for my art, unfortunately. I also have two portrait commissions for Christmas that I'm working on and that is keeping me very busy as well.
I finally finished a new piece. It's an ATC for an art trade on an art forum. I couldn't post it before now because they hadn't posted the results yet. So tell me you didn't see this one coming! Yet another macro of a cat. Granted it's a very big cat, but of the feline species nonetheless. :D I'm actually considering trying a landscape ATC for next month. Scary thought, huh?
This was done with Prismacolors on Wallis sanded paper. The size is 2.5" x 3.5". I have been wanting to try out Wallis for some time now, but didn't have the money since Wallis is so expensive. I have no idea how artists can afford to buy Wallis! I only bought a pad with a few pieces of paper in it and it cost me as much as three full sheets of Colourfix paper. So I won't be using Wallis a lot, even though I did enjoy using it very much. The surface of Wallis is much rougher than the Colourfix, but it was, indeed, a pleasure to use.
So, enjoy "The Eye of the Tiger"!
It's about time you came back! Yup.. thought you'd gotten lost way out yonder ;)
ReplyDeleteThe new ATC is georgeous, but I knew you were working on Wallis a week or so ago lol. Glad you like wallis...(I've used it once or twice lol) Have you tried the uart yet?
Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
Hey Toni! Thanks for the lovely comment! I remembered you using Wallis. That was one of the reasons I wanted to try it.
ReplyDeleteI have tried UART. I have some small pieces here. I did a 5" x 7" painting of flowers (still finishing that one up) - that was on 500 grit and I loved it. I haven't tried the other grits yet, but I want to before I go to the trade show next month. I got contacted by a guy from uart and he wants to talk to me about the paper while I'm there, so i want to have some pieces finished by then.
Thank you Kaisie!! *hugs* Glad you like it!!
